Below the lyrics of this song:

“Autumn in N.Y., why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in N.Y., it spells the thrill of first-nighting.
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel;
they’re making me feel: I’m home.

It’s autumn in N.Y. that brings the promise of new love.
Autumn in N.Y. is often mingled with pain.
Dreamers with empty hands may sigh for exotic lands;
It’s autumn in N.Y.;
It’s good to live it again.

Autumn in N.Y., the gleaming rooftops at sundown
Autumn in N.Y., it lifts you up when you’re let down
jaded roués and gay divorces who lunch at the Ritz
will tell you that it’s devine

It’s autumn in N.Y. transforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York, you’ll need no castle in Spain
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
Greet autumn in New York,
It’s good to live it again”
